    I saw a second of that, now watching Embarrassing Kids Bodies, might switch back.

    With risotto - don't forget that the stock needs to be hot when added!

    Re risotto, DS2 loves it but I find it very 'samey' IYSWIM. But after watching the Jamie effort this week we attempted the tomoato variation and then baked it in red peppers for 20 minutes, totally yum. Can't do cous cous to save my life though.

    DC the great thing with risotto is that you can use up whatever you have in the fridge, or just buy a little bit of something expensive to go a long way in a risotto:

    eg, butternut squash and goats cheese risotto........yum yum yum......DD likes sausage risotto.......great if you have just one or two sausages left over that can be chopped up.......crabsticks for a cheapy seafood version etc.

    :D

    Today the weather is pants - grey and wet and cold. I am off to the football this afternoon - last match of the season and celebration time as we have won the league, so the atmosphere will be excellent even if it is chucking it down with rain. Am looking forward to that later on.

    Have a good day, everyone - off to scratch and bank.

    Hmm, think it is a texture thing with me, can't stand rice pudding either, but the added red pepper with a bit of a bite was good.

    Enjoy the footie Hypno.

    Today is Bar Boot day, so I have people with cars picking me up with lots of stuff and bringing me back with significantly less... there you go, the Universe is on notice that I'm decluttering to other people!
    Hope everybody has an excellent weekend, I'll check in with results tomorrow as we'll be decluttering Chinese food on my return - oh, and watching Wallander. Can't beat a subtitled Swedish detective series on a Saturday night:D
